HART'S LOCATION — The tradition of midnight voting in some of New Hampshire's tiniest townships has been getting a lot of attention this 100th anniversary of the Granite State's first-in-the-nation presidential primary, and three towns are set to carry on that colorful custom come the stroke of midnight Feb. 9.

Yankee, the Boston Globe and Reuters have all carried stories on midnight voting in Hart's Location in Carroll County, and Dixville Notch and — new for this year — Millsfield, both in Coos County.
